lpr --version , cupsd --version or cupsd -V do not work but I think I have version 1.1.18.

Problem :

CUPS to CUPS works fine but I badly need access to some remote
BSD lpd servers if I want to make the transition from lprng to cups. However, no matter what I try, if I define a remote lpd based printer it always ends up with the following error message :

Searching through Google showed that many others are suffering from the same problem, but the only solution they came up with is to convert all systems to CUPS ! However, that is no viable option in this case.

Please post usage questions to the cups.general group.

You probably need to use the ?reserve=yes option in the LPD URI to tell CUPS to reserve a priviledged port.
